As luscious as fruit tarts can be, there will always be those who insist that a dessert is not complete unless chocolate is involved in it. These particular Little Chocolate Tarts are the creation of Jules, of the food blog Stone Soup. While you will have to bake up the mini tart shells yourself, the filling is surprisingly simple. It is basically the same rich, creamy chocolate ganache that you find in truffles and is made of high quality dark chocolate and cream, melted together and poured into the shells to firm up. Each one, no matter how small you make the tart cases, is going to be an intense chocolate experience and should more than satisfy the chocolate lover.
These tarts were the dessert that followed a dinner of Jamie Oliver recipes, all taken from Jamie's Italy, and included Italian buffalo mozzarella, roasted chili & basil crostini, artichoke & parmesan crostini (easy and great choices for holiday party appetizers) and a risotto of mussels & fennel.
